Hot Melt Definition
Last Updated: 05/04/2014
Hot Melt - A thermoplastic material that is melted in dispensing equipment and is applied in a molten state. It then wets the substrate surface and as it cools, it solidifies forming a bond. Very fast setting. Not a true structural but has the capability to bond a broad range of substrates. Usually supplied as sticks, granules, blocks or pellets.

Easy to dispense using
hotmelt electric guns or tank based melters with heated hoses and nozzles.
